ミニマル・ペア
1. Minimal pairIn phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, which differ in only one phonological element, such as a phone, phoneme, toneme or chroneme and have distinct meanings. They are used to demonstrate that two phones constitute two separate phonemes in the language. As an example for English vowels, the pair "let" + "lit" can be used to demonstrate that the phones [ɛ ɛ] (in let) and [ɪ ɪ] (in lit) do in fact represent distinct phonemes /ɛ/ and /ɪ/.
